Mangalore bonda or mangalore bajji as it is called is also known as gole bajje in north canara region of karnataka.It is a sour and spicy awesome snach which can be made instantly.Since it is made with maida it is chewy and as we add sour curd it is a bit sour and spicy as well.I have tasted many a times after settling down here in banagalore and specially in CTR where benne masala dosa is famous,this mangalore bonda is eqqually famous.For beginners in cooking this may prove to be an easy snack variety since the shaping of bondas will…

ONION RINGS/STARTER

March 25, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

I first tasted onion rings at a party held in my hubby’s friend’s place.I thought it was bhajji and when i ate it’s taste was peculiar and different.Was thinking of how to ask the hostess,she came to me and said don’t miss onion rings.Then i knew it was not bhajji.I then asked her and she gave me the simplest of all recipes of onion rings.It is made out of maida and corn flour and not with besan.And the more important ingredient here is the buttertmilk.Some people add eggs,but being a hard core vegetarian,i avoided.You can makethis for a starter or…

BADUSHA

October 17, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Badusha is a very sweet recipe made during Diwali or in weddings.Though it appears a difficult task to make these sugar syrup soaked dumplings,when properly made with correct measurements becomes easy work.I was also in a dilemma,but was too tempted to try that i finally gave it a shot.I had seen my MIL making these and was not sure whether it would turn out soft and good.I also saw a few friends blogs and found a recipe which goes like this..
